Residential Construction in Masson-Angers
Masson-Angers hosts several residential construction projects. Builders there are developing new neighbourhoods with townhomes, singles and semi-detached homes.
Types of Construction Available
You'll mainly find two-storey single-family homes, row townhomes and semi-detached homes. Sizes range from 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, with garage and finishable basement.
The New Home Warranty
In Quebec, new homes built by an accredited contractor are covered by the mandatory warranty plan administered by GCR (Garantie de construction résidentielle). Coverage periods vary by type of defect. Check the GCR website for exact timelines before signing.
Negotiating with a Builder
Unlike resale, new build prices are often fixed. However, you can negotiate upgrades (countertops or flooring, for example) and sometimes closing costs. A broker can also represent you with the builder. Ask early on who pays the broker's fee.
My Advice
Buying new in Masson-Angers is a good option for first-time buyers. Check the builder's reputation by visiting projects it has already delivered. Also have a broker represent you to protect your interests.
